Writer, director and TV producer Tyler Perry has a strong connection with church audiences. Much of the marketing of his movies and plays is done to the Sunday morning pew fillers, so this next video doesn’t come as a shock to us.
While attending Bishop T.D. Jakes‘ Megafest in Dallas, Texas the Atlanta-based Madea creator was moved to donate $1 million to help Jakes build a youth center.
“I’ve just been touched to give $1 million,” Tyler Perry said in the Sunday morning service. “God I don’t know what you’re doing but I heard your voice. ”
Perry then drew screams of approval from the audience as he began speaking in tongues and said, “When you hear the voice of God, you move.” His impromptu sermon ended with him laying his hands on Bishop Jakes saying,” I pray the Blood of Jesus will come upon you right now.”
Watch the video below:
Bishop Jakes still seemed in awe of the whole thing and Tweeted about it afterward:
